ID" writes an article to the Obser-
ter of last week and makes known
mis- identity. as 4. Means Davis,
professor in the South Carolina Col
lege. AS Professor Davis says, It
matters little to the public who ''D'
is, if his argument in favor Of his po-
sition is worth anything, it should
either stand or fall on its merit ire
spective of whether it is written from
a selfish standpoint or any other. He
may write from self interest or he
may not; the question under discus.
sion should be settled on its merits
and on it's merits alone. If there is
demand for a separate agricultural
college and the people desire it, and
are willing to pay for it, why let
them have it. But in discussing this
very question it should be discussed
on it's merits and on its merits alone.
This is thee position that the Herald
&. Neacs has taken all along. We
have never been convinced that it
would he a wise or judicious invest
ment, and neither are we satisfied
that majority Of our farmers are
clamoring for its establishment. On
the contrary, we do not believe
majority Of them care much about it
one way or the other.
Mr.. Tillman's plan has been to
make war on nearly all existing il.sti-
tutions and he is constantly speaking
of the ''oligarchy" and the ring"
We have always contended that prac-
tical farming must be learned on the
farm. 1t is very nice to know the
science Of farming and the analysis
of the soil and all that, but in our
opinion it. would pay far better to
place within the reach Of all the boys
and girls of South Carolina the ad-
vantages Of common school educa-
ton and let the "annex" or whatever
you may be pleased to term it, re-
main at the South Carolina College,
where those who are able and desire
to do so, may 60 and learn the science
of farming.

The work on the bridge across the
river at Columbia for the Columols'
Newberry and Laurens railroad hss
been commenced and the contractor
thinks he will be able to complete
the masonry for it within four months.
President Moseley will push the
work of the construction Of this road
vigorously and it is quite probable
that trains will be running through
from Columbia to Newberry by this
time next year.

The Nears 6. Courier of Tuesday
has sd editorial on 90 life for life -
in which, among other things. it says
there is need for hanging in South
CsroliDa. We believe in letting the
Courts try those charged with crime,
and we are not anxious chat anybody
should hang. 1t also says chat the
violation Of the law against carrying
pistols concealed is the cause of
much of the crime in this State. No
doubt the having of the pistol conve-
nient is the cause of many homicides
which on more mature reflection
would never occur. Tie Neus &.
Courier but expresses what we have
said time and again about this law,
when it says:
Not until the law abiding people
Of South Carolina, the pesce-loving,
respectable and Christian people,
make up their minds in earnest that
the law Of the State and of society
shall be enforced witht ut fear or
favor against every man who defes
and breaks it. The practice Of car.
rying concealed weapons must be
frowned down and made disreputable
by the moral force of public senti.
ment, and be punished wheneve, IT
is detected, not only by the imposi
tion Of the legal penalty, but By
visiting the contempt and strong
condemnation Of the community
upon the offenders
And not until it is condemned by
public sentiment will the law against
the habit be of much avail. Public

Judge Bond fined Attorney General

1nonwealth's Attorney John Scott. of

custody. They propose now, as soon as
the record can be made out, to apply to
tue United States Supreme Court for
writ OF habeas corpus. Governor Lee

Hon. JEFF Davis will 60 to the
Macon Fair. He has been severely
criitized by some papers and rudely
advised to stay at home. We have
never seen anything wrong in his
going to Macon and meeting his old
soldiers and their sons, and if any
body wants to make political capital
out of it they should be allowed to
do it. We wish be would visit our
State Fair. We would like to see
and hear him talk.

DIR. KUHNS' GOOD FORTUNE.
His Views not in Accord with Henry
George.
Ap,r York Tribune Q

Twenty-one years ago the Rev. DR..
Kuhns, OF Westminster, Nd, by the ad-
vice Of his then parishioner Augustus
Kountze, of this city bought iorty-two
acres Of land near Omaha, for which he
paid 5000. He has kept this land until
now, largely because be was unable to
get what he paid for it. But the recent
land boom in Omaha and the extension
OF the city have caused his land to ap-
preciate so much in value that it is now
worth 100000. The doctor does not
hold the same views with Henry George
as to the unearned increment of land.
but intends to Sell out and enjoy his
good fortune.

sentiment must change before the
practice will be stopped, it matters
not how much statute law there may
be on the subject. There can be
little doubt that if this habit was
stopped there would be fewer homi-
